It was designed by Eric Clough, who was also responsible for the interior in Cadillac's Sixteen concept, and draws many styling cues from that car. The interior is hand cut and sewn at Drexel Meyer, the same people who build interiors for Maybach and special edition AMGs. The seats are supplied by Recaro. Seat inserts and the steering wheel are sueded for grip. It is the best in it's class. Mark,

BMW never posted laptimes driven by their own experts who are driving the Nordschleife every day and worked out the setup of the M-cars. I can imagine that they are some seconds quicker than Horst von Saurma, who is a good driver, but you can't count him to the top of the crowd. So maybe BMW also made faster laptops with M3 and M5, but just didn't post them. There are definitely a lot of drivers who can drive the ring faster than Horst von Saurma, and if he does it in 8:05 and some Cadillac-Pro does it in 7:59, well, I think it depends more on the driver than on the car which is the faster one. Both cars are obviously very fast. Greetings from Germany ;-) I would not rate this news to high,

I actually just wrote my weekly RawAutos article about this topic for this week. I am happy to see that Cadillac makes a manual transmission car that is worthy to take on the M3 and M5. The new IS-F and the MB C63 AMG aren't really cutting the mustard. I would sit a CTS-V next to an M3/M5 in my garage any day... I agree with EuropaCar.
